Las Vegas, NV, August 8, 2007â€”As mentioned in recent Blogger News NetworkÂ editorial “Humane Society of the United Statesâ€™ version of â€œWayneâ€™s world; or how spending money on Vickâ€™s dogs is a constant battle for H$U$â€¦”http://www.bloggernews.net/19114,Â Â HSUS is really an animal rights (AR) group manyÂ true animal lovers confuse with their local â€˜Humane societyâ€™ shelters, however, Humane Society of the United States is not affiliated with any of them. They are a powerful well funded AR group, who instead running shelters or helping animals directly, works hard on eventually removing pets from our homes, meat from our tables, leather goods from our closets and animals from zoos and circuses.

So many of you might ask who is the person in charge of HSUS, a group with 200 million dollars in assets?

His name is Wayne Pacelle, and he has a blog where you can get to know him better. In his July 10, 2007 blog titled â€œDesperate Distortionâ€,Â he writes; â€œOur opponents have always resorted to dredging up very old quotes and taking them out of context, or even revising or inventing quotes out of whole cloth.â€

Maybe Mr. Pacelle should attach expiration dates to his quotes so the public knows when it is OK to stop taking them seriously.

To be fair, letâ€™s look up some recent quotes made since the year 2000.

In his August 7, 2007 blog â€œA Calling to Careâ€, Pacelle writes about his childhood visit to a zoo:

â€œIt did not take more than a few minutes of observation to send me into a deep funk. I still have, now 25 years later, the indelible image in my mind of a jaguar pacing back and forth in his miserly little enclosure. I read his behavior as utter anguish.Â I ruined the trip for the teachers and all of my classmates. I went into a mode of overt depression, and I infected everyone on the trip with my gloomâ€

It has been 25 years, things are different nowadaysâ€¦. Aside from being a self proclaimed animal psychic reading the jaguarâ€™s deepest thoughts, Mr. Pacelle obviously didnâ€™t spend enough time studying the habitat distribution of different big cat species, as documented in his 2004 article â€œLeave Wild Animals Where They Belong, In the Wildâ€ writing about a tiger named Bobo:

â€œCaptive tigers should only be housed in accredited zoos and sanctuaries, not by amateurs, however well-intentioned they may be. We encourage those who specifically wish to help animals like Bobo to devote themselves to the preservation of habitat in these animals’ native ranges in Africa and southeast Asia,..â€

Wild tigers in Africa???Â No, tigers are not native to Africa. It is lions, the ones with mane andÂ without stripes, that live in Africa. Majority of wild tigers nowadays live in India.

Unfortunately, their numbers are on the steep decline, latest total being less than 2000 individuals. The main reason for their decline is habitat destruction and poaching, not the pet trade. All privately kept tigers in USA were born in captivity and not stolen from the wild.

He ends his paper with: â€œAnd responsible citizens should not keep any wild animal as a pet. If you want an animal as a companion, go to a local shelter or breed rescue group, and save the life of a domestic dog or a cat. They have been bred to live comfortably in our environments. Leave wild animals where they belongâ€”in the wildâ€

Responsible people shouldnâ€™t keep exotic animals as pets? What makes the HSUS President a wildlife expert? All animals used to be wild, and since there are more tigers in captivity than in the wild, we might as well start to refer to them as domestic animals, since captive breeding is the only way to save them from extinction.

But many AR groups rather see them extinct than saved in captivity. Who put these suit wearing, big salary paid, professional animal rights activists into a position of wildlife experts? Who made them God to decide that future generations shouldnâ€™t see a live tiger?Â Â

3 users commented in " Is the President of the Humane Society of the United States, HSUS, an Animal Psychic and Wildlife Expert? "

This guy portrays himself as a wildlife expert? Where can I send my donation to preserve the habitat of wild tigers in Africa? Probably the same place I can contribute to the care of Vick’s fighting pit bulls.

“Maybe Mr. Pacelle should attach expiration dates to his quotes so the public knows when it is OK to stop taking them seriously.”

Exactly! The HSUS has been saying since at least 2000, when I started investigating dogfighting and animal abuse full time, that there are 40,000 individuals in the US involved in dogfighting. Through my own experience I believe there could be 40,000 individuals in Chicago alone.

The MSM treat these humane organizations like they treat government officials. The MSM just prints whatever falsehoods they are given because the person they are quoting is an “expert”.

It appears as if John Keene may suffer from “perceptual distortion”. Otherwise known as “cop syndrome”, whereas the afflicted(enforcement official) only see a certain segment of the population (worst cases) and assume they are representative of the entire population. He is right on about the H$U$ and PeTA, but so much time and energy spent investigating criminals has tainted his perception to the point at which he sees criminal activity even where it doesn’t exist. That was evident in my phone conversation with him recently. Just because someone reads a murder mystery John, doesn’t mean they commit murder.

And just because someone falls in love with medium sized, short haired, block headed dogs doesn’t mean they intend to allow them to fight other dogs. Nor does ownership of the common items Wayne Pacelle and H$U$ have instructed law enforcement officials like John Keene to include in their “dog fighting” search warrants actually constitute evidence or intent. Sometimes things are what they appear to be…often, they are not. Just because someone calls themselves an “expert” doesn’t mean that you should accept what they say as fact, without question.
